How long is the break in period for this bat?
8835
It says to hit 150-200 balls with it while rotating the bat with each hit. I believe the break in period may be just a little more than that......maybe 400-500 balls.

About 150 hits of the ball. We took our son to the bating cages and it was broke in after an afternoon.

I would recommend hanging as soon as you get it. If a bat needs a home, he will occupy the house at any time. If you are in a colder climate, you want to get them up before March, as bats start waking from hibernation or returning from migration around then.

No break in procedure was mentioned in the manual. Here is a copy of the manual:http://www.manualslib.com/manual/661202/Senco-Pc1131.html#manual

Had mine 6 months, still going strong. Glue is good, wood is solid. Note the weight, it's by far the heaviest bat I've played with. It took getting used to, but it is a beast when you get it down. Good bat for the price.

Don't Know. My girls don't use them for hitting machines that's what wears them out. We have had 2 CF5's and they love them. Funny how the other comment said did not like the cf6. We bumped her up one inch and one ounce and the cf6 has not performed as well. Very popular bats

I believe the real issue is damage to the bat. I have my sons use old bats (alluminum and wood) so they don't damage the newer composite bats that I purchased for them.

2,36 inches at the sweet spot. 1.02 inches at the grip. I'm a newbie. 39 years old and hit approximately 10 yards from homerun when our team have soft pitch practice. I really love this one, so I have copied it from a 33 to a 34, I use maple. I will think you will love this one. But who am I to tell, I am not got any other reference to go on. Except some bigger bats which is heavier than this one. Good luck if you are thinking of buying it. Regards. Daniel Sprengarfjord

If you want to hit for fielding practice, get a cheap metal bat and tape foam around the grip, or just get a fungo. Based on the material, I highly doubt it has enough pop for fielding practice.

Your Bat should last longer then that. Mine will go two days no problem with heavy use? Check to see if you have functions turned on that you are not using blue tooth ect. Are you consantly roaming? ect these functions sap your bat. If not you may have a bad bat.

The bat that was banned/decertified BBCOR was the 33". Reference: http://compositebats.com/marucci-cat-5-bbcor-33-inch-decertified/ The Marucci Black 33" was also banned sometime later in July that year.

I got one of this (32"/24ounces) for my son (he is in Travel League) and it is really good for him. My son is 12 at the time and he is a big kid (5'6"). You can choose the size of the bat depending on how tall and the strength your son has so make sure you know the length and size that is good for him. My kid love this bat.

No, there is no "break-in" period. I recommend making sure that the fault code(s) have been reset (if any to begin with) and then unplug them again and reconnect. Special note that it is a very snug fit. Make SURE you have them plugged in completely.

31 inch is probably a little long for an 8-1/2 year old, but it's really more of a matter of the length/weight ratio, and what he is comfortable swinging. My son didn't move to a 30 inch size bat until he was 10, and just started using 31 inch this past year.

There was a paper that came in the box that gave all warranty info. How in the world did you crack a composite bat? Was it used only for batting? Don't let kids use bat to hit anything other than balls. I have never had any cracks on my Xeno bats.

We live in southern New Jersey. We bring out bat leaf into the garage in the winter. It lives in a planter on our porch from April thru December. We are in zone 7.

The bat is 2 1/4" in diameter at its thickest area. (actually 2.23 inches if you calculate it using the circumference which is 7"). Hope this helps.

It's about an 8th of an inch thick. That may not seem like much, but it's tough enough to stop baseball bats. I would know, I tried.
